The movie world has a beautiful ghost

Chapter 151 Meng Jiangnu Cries at the Great Wall

In just one night, the spirit babies returned one after another.

One of the spiritual babies found Fan Xiliang's trace, but the result was regrettable.

It turned out that Fan Xiliang had been exhausted to death due to long-term high-intensity labor.

This news was not told directly to Meng Jiangnu, because even if she was told now, she would not believe it.

Instead, he asked about the location where Fan Xiliang worked and planned to take Meng Jiangnu there to verify it in person.

The two had breakfast.

"Miss Jiang, let's set off now." Zhang Haoran looked at Meng Jiangnu with a complicated look.

Meng Jiangnu's gratitude was always beyond words.

"Sir, I am really a bother and a burden to you." Meng Jiangnu said, leaning forward slightly.

"It's okay, but... I just hope you can be mentally prepared." Zhang Haoran sighed.

"I understand what you mean, sir. Before coming here, I had already made the worst-case plan." Meng Jiangnu's face looked a little gloomy.

Under Zhang Haoran's tyranny, he made Meng Jiangnu ride on the horse and sit behind him.

At first, Meng Jiangnu felt that this was a little inappropriate, but fortunately, Confucianism at that time was just beginning and had not yet reached the paranoid level of later dynasties.

When you are out, you don't care so much.

Head in the direction that the spirit baby said.

After a day, we arrived at the section of the city wall where Fan Xiliang had stayed.

When we arrived at a camp, we could see many skinny figures with numb expressions, as well as prisoners wearing handcuffs and shackles mixed in among them, doing labor.

The entrance to the camp and its surroundings were guarded by Qin soldiers.

Zhang Haoran found the captain in charge here, gave him some money, and everything became easier.

The commander simply gathered the laborers together.

No one spoke, it was very quiet, and everyone was so hungry that they had no strength to breathe.

Zhang Haoran and the other man followed the commander to the high earthen slope in front of the group of people.

"Listen carefully, everyone. Is there a Fan Xiliang among you? If so, please stand up quickly. Your wife is here to look for you!" the inspector shouted to the people below.

Meng Jiangnu also nervously glanced at the crowd below.

But she was destined to be disappointed. The people below just looked at each other, and no one moved.

The captain frowned and said, "Is there no one among you named Fan Xiliang?"

Just then, someone below raised his arm.

When Meng Jiangnu saw this, she was delighted, thinking that the dishevelled and dirty man whose face could not be seen clearly was her husband.

But the man said timidly: "Sir, I know the guy named Fan Xiliang. He was in the same team with me, but he fell ill and died a few days ago."

hum...

Meng Jiangnu felt dizzy for a moment, staggered, fell to the ground, and tears began to flow.

Zhang Haoran could only shake his head and sigh.

After a long while, Meng Jiangnu staggered to the man, looking particularly miserable: "Brother, can you tell me where my husband is buried?"

The people around her seemed to be infected by her. No matter how you put it, it was already shocking that a woman could come here from thousands of miles away to find her husband.

The man sighed and said, "There is no place for people like us to be buried. After we die, we can only fill up this wall and stand here with it."

Although Zhang Haoran already knew about this situation, he still couldn't help being moved after hearing it.

I thought, maybe this is the reason why the Qin Great Wall has stood for thousands of years.

You may have heard that when certain bridges or large buildings are completed in later generations, some unscrupulous businessmen will sacrifice human lives in order to ensure the stability of the buildings and avoid accidents, so that the project can proceed smoothly.

This is the so-called sacrifice, which was later called "dashengzhuang".

It was first recorded in the Lu Ban Jing, the ancestor of Xia State craftsmen. I won't mention it here for now.

What's more, after the Great Wall was built, countless people died and were buried here.

Meng Jiangnu said nothing, but just walked out like a zombie.

Zhang Haoran followed her closely, leading the horse.

It can be seen that she is in extreme pain. People are like this. Not crying or making a fuss does not mean that everything is fine. Instead, it means that she is extremely sad.

Until they came to a section of the repaired city wall and watched Meng Jiangnu stumbling up it.

He knelt down beside a wall, thought for a long time, and finally burst into tears.

The voice echoed in the empty space, and those busy figures in the distance stopped what they were doing and looked over here.

The voice was so sorrowful that even the Qin soldiers who were guarding the place were moved. They stopped urging and scolding and looked into the distance.

At a certain moment, it seemed as if the heaven and earth were moved, with rumbling spring thunder and drizzle falling.

“Hualala~!!”

A scene that shocked Zhang Haoran and everyone in the distance appeared. They saw that the city wall two meters away from Meng Jiangnu collapsed, but the area where Meng Jiangnu was located was intact.

But Meng Jiangnu seemed unaware and didn't care, she continued crying and wailing there.

But Zhang Haoran could see that just as the city wall collapsed, a phantom flew up to the sky, glanced at Meng Jiangnu below, a gentle smile emerged on his face, and then turned into starlight and dissipated.

Zhang Haoran's eyes flashed, then he flew over and picked up Meng Jiangnu, who had fainted from crying.

At this moment, the surrounding Qin troops also surrounded them. There was nothing they could do because the collapse of the city wall was too serious. If they were not careful, they would be charged with the crime of failing to supervise and would all be executed.

Zhang Haoran also knew this, so in order to prevent them from being deeply implicated, he gave them an idea.

That is to blame this series of events on Meng Jiangnu, which is the story of Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall that is widely known in later generations.

For example, Meng Jiangnu traveled thousands of miles to find her husband and learned that he was dead. Her cries were so moving that they collapsed the Great Wall.

In this era, people still have a lot of faith in superstitions about ghosts and gods.

The inspector has found a solution, and in order to make the matter more reliable and authentic, he will naturally work harder to publicize it.

Afterwards, Zhang Haoran stayed nearby for another day, waiting for Meng Jiangnu to wake up.

He was also thinking about what Meng Jiangnu should do. He couldn't always take her with him, and he was worried about leaving her alone to go back.

After Meng Jiangnu woke up, she asked some questions.

Now Meng Jiangnu has vented her emotions and is not holding too much pent-up energy. This person is afraid of being wronged and having no place to vent. If this continues for a long time, there will definitely be problems.

After finding out more about the situation, we found out that there was no one left in her husband's family, that is, her mother-in-law's family.

Since Fan Xiliang was taken away, Meng Jiangnu had been taking care of her mother-in-law at home alone. It was not until her mother-in-law passed away, leaving her alone and helpless, that she decided to go out and look for her husband.
